So what differentiates the World Record Car edition from the standard Vitesse, you ask? Some mild cosmetic details like orange accents on the front wings,
rims, grille surround and rear wing underside. The theme continues into the cockpit, where orange stitching permeates a largely black design with orange
leather on the seats. What does orange have to do with a world record, though?

Only eight of them will roll off the company's production line Molsheim, France, and all of which have already been spoken for. The price is as ridiculous
as you'd expect: $2.6 million each. That's somewhere north of $100,000 more than you'd pay for a regular Grand Sport Vitesse.
